Week 15: At Last...

This week has been a good week pregnancy wise. Less nausea, less, exhaustion, and less late night potty breaks! This was also my last week at my old job as a Behavioral Clinical Specialist and the first couple of days at my new job as a Clinical Research Coordinator (for the same hospital system-different location and department). I am loving it so far! It was a very welcome change and this is what I should be doing- couldn't be more happy about that. However- I will miss my clients and my awesome co-workers from previous job :( that's always the hard part. 

Anyways- I have a had a pit  this week with the loss of my aunt. She had been battling cancer for the past 8 years but has been really sick this past year and that was definitely a tough loss. Especially since I was unable to attend her funeral because of the start of my new position. She will be missed dearly. Because of this, I haven't blogged or filmed for my beauty channel. I just can't get in the mood to do it, which I am sure you can understand. It was actually really hard for me to get motivated to write this. Hopefully, I will get to feeling more up to it soon- but in the mean time I have just been enjoying my family and trying to relax. 

Looking forward to finding out the sex in 2 weeks and getting some mini-kicks! Keep you posted. 


Symptoms

As I hinted at earlier in this post, I haven't had much action in the symptom department. Thankfully! I think I did notice my boobs getting a little bigger though, then again that may be in my head. My weight has been fluctuating a lot more than I had noticed before. Like one day I'm down 2 lbs, next I'm up 3, then back down 3....I am attributing that to bloat because I have been super gassy. LOL this is the only time in life that any of that is acceptable and can be talked about without shame...so don't try and judge me! I have been back to working out the past few weeks, I just forgot to include that in those posts.

Cravings 

Well this week I have been working harder to get in more vegetables and meat. I have been semi-successful with that. Since, I haven't been nauseous I feel like I've been less picky. I gave eggs a try, still not loving them but not gagging either. I have been still leaning more towards the sweets than the salty for snacking. My frozen whips aren't going anywhere! I have been having this craving for a cheeseburger...but I am trying to fight it. We will see who wins that battle!

BumpWatch

This week I think I look pregnant for sure. Well in most clothes. A noticeable bump in fitted clothes but not in loose blouses. Smaller in the mornings and makes a debut after lunch.  Wonder how much longer before it can't be tamed.... 
This week, I've dabbled in some maternity clothes and I am seeing a pattern- they are hideous (unless you are willing to spend and I am just not there yet). The tops- fugly and the all the pants are black, leggings, or jeans. Can't wear jeans to work- and I am not spending a fortune on a new maternity wardrobe so looks like I'll be living in leggings! Good thing they are on trend! I did break down and get a couple of sale items from H&M- I will be posting a maternity haul very SOON! :)
